"I don't doubt it," says she, still actin' like I'd spilled salad dressin' on her skirt.
It was my first bid next time and hearts was my only suit again. I had the ace, queen and three others.
"Pardner," I says, "I'm goin' to bid one heart and if you got somethin' to help me out with, don't let 'em take it away from me."
"I'll double a heart," says Messenger.
"Oh, somebody else is gettin' cute!" says I. "Well, I'll double right back at you."
"Will you just wait till it comes your turn?" says Mrs. Garrett. "And besides, you can't redouble."
"I guess I can," says I. "I got five o' them."
"It's against our rules," she says.
So my partner done nothin', as usual, and Mrs. Garrett bid one without again.
"I guess you want to play 'em all," I says; "but you'll have to come higher'n that. I'm goin' to bid two hearts."
